Angla Windmill Mount
Four of the five Angla windmills are typical trestle windmills characteristic of the island of Saaremaa. They were built at the beginning of the 20th century. A Dutch-style windmill, slightly taller than the others and built in 1927, stands in the middle of the group. Now also forming part of the complex is the Angla Heritage Culture Centre, where you can take part in a number of workshops - trying your hand at pottery, felting, bread-making and more.
